Keto Potato Pancakes

How can someone on the keto diet have potato pancakes? Instant mashed potato mix! Dry instant potato mix is actually a baker’s secret: it makes breads and doughs denser and fluffier! With a little cheddar cheese mixed in the batter and a dollop of sour cream with chives on the side, you won’t want to miss out on this comforting breakfast food.

Recipe Steps

steps 6

25 min

  • Step 1

    Start by whipping the egg whites in a stand mixer until you have stiff peaks. Set the stiff egg whites aside for later use.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Wipe the stand mixer clean, and mix together the almond flour, salt, baking powder, instant potato, and shredded cheddar.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Mix in the heavy cream and almond milk. Then, using a spatula (not the mixer), fold the whipped egg whites into the batter. The batter should be consistent, but there will be some small lumps from the cheese and the instant potato soaking in the liquid.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    For pouring the batter, use a ladle if you can. Each potato pancake will be about a ¼ cup of batter. No potato pancake is perfect in size or shape! Melt a ½ tablespoon of butter in a wide skillet per 4 pancakes (about ⅛ tablespoon per pancake) over medium-low heat. Ladle 3-4 pancakes into the hot butter, and use the ladle to gently spread the pancakes out into circles.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Cook the pancakes on each side in the butter until they are golden brown - about 2 minutes per side. Repeat the process of melting butter and dropping in pancakes until all the pancakes are cooked. You may need to adjust your heat as the cooking process continues to avoid burning. Slow and steady will win the race!
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    For serving, arrange 2 pancakes on a plate with 1 TB of sour cream and 1 tsp of chopped chives. You should have 4 servings total.
    Step 6

    This was so incredibly satisfying, I added ricotta instead of cheddar cheese since I ran out of heavy whipping cream. This created a great consistency and “glue” as well. I also added a little chopped ham to the batter. Definitely a go to!!! Thank you! :D

      These were Delicious! Nice tastey alternative to eggs for breakfast. I am thinking a nice side to a meat dish.
